WEBVTT - Single Best Idea with Tom Keene: Justin Sink, Dave Wasserman, & David Gura

0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 2>The single best idea called the Small Take. David Gurr

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.840
<v Speaker 2>is the host of The Big Take, really really successful effort,

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 2>a twenty minute, twenty five minute full look at a topic,

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:25.240
<v Speaker 2>a single best idea.

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 3>We go the other way.

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 2>It's six minutes, even five minutes of short conversations today

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 2>with a political tilt. Is mister Gurra came back from

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 2>the climbs of Maine in the lobster role to help

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 2>out on a Friday morning Sweeney off, to say the least,

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 2>and so it's a political tinge today. Stay with me

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>on this. Justin Sink is a White House reporter for

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Bloomberg and he's done a great job for us. And

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 2>of course everything's changed at the White House on the election.

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Justin Sink of Bloomberg News.

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Sidney, the biggest question is, you know, are we in

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 3>a honeymoon or not? Right pulled this in the same

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 3>thing right now. But Kamala Harris is coming off of

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 3>a convention that was really great and while these baths

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 3>are good, they're not runaway, and so he got to

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 3>really put a grain of salt in all of this,

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 3>which is where within the margin of earon, you know

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 3>nearly all of these things, and this raise is going

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 3>to go down to a razor's edge. So while it's

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, you'd rather be harrassed than Trump right now,

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't think anybody is kind of saying that this

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 3>thing's over.

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>And along with that, Justin Sink of Bloomberg News just

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:29.839
<v Speaker 2>was really good on the current mood and of course

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:36.119
<v Speaker 2>of the President on vacation in California. Also we added

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 2>today David Wasserman, that's to name many of you in

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 2>the political game will know if you don't know who.

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>He is absolutely definitive and was definitive before twenty sixteen.

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>At the Cook Political Report. He wrote in an essay

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 2>two weeks before Clinton Trump and basically said, would everybody

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 2>stop pushing aside Trump? He could win And that was

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 2>of course a career maker for David Wasserman. I put

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 2>out earlier this week Charlie Cook Emeritus Charlie Cook The

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Cook Political Report, with a blistering essay to Trump and

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Harris supporters of lose the exuberance and get to work.

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>It was just a fabulous effort. Here our David Gera

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 2>with David Wasserman The Cook political report.

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, we've seen a prosecutor and a vice presidential debate,

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 4>and you know, Kamala Harris acquitted herself fairly well against

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 4>Mike Pence, and this time around, I do think there

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 4>is more downside risk for Donald Trump now when we

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 4>think back to June twenty seventh. Obviously Trump won that debate,

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 4>but that was because the sitting president was incoherent and

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 4>if you take Trump's performance in isolation, it was nothing

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 4>to write home about. So Kamala Harris is relentlessly on message.

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.679
<v Speaker 4>That's part of the reason why Democrats and her campaign

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 4>have kind of sealed her in this hermetically sealed bubble,

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 4>tightly controlled interview on CNN, very little else that is

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 4>off the cough. And meanwhile, even by his standards, Donald

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.079
<v Speaker 4>Trump has veered off script in the last month and

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 4>half and that's been a big reason why Republicans have

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 4>lost the battle so far to redefine Kamala Harris, and

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 4>she has come across more as the challenger or a

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 4>change candidate than the incumbent vice president. She is. It's

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 4>up to Trump and Republicans to remind voters that Democrats

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 4>are the ones in charge now.

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 2>David Wasserman the Cook Political Report. Always fun to work

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 2>with my former colleague and president, colleague David Gurra. He

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>will be at the debate September tenth. Talked a little

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.119
<v Speaker 2>bit about it through the show, frankly through the week

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>as well. But boy does that creep up. Don't forget.

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Here's the schedule. Labor Day, Lobster le Monday, September third,

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 2>ninety two nine FM, Boston. Thrilled about that September third,

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 2>look for that signal from Mount Catada and Millanocket down

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 2>to island. Very excited about that, like ninety nine to

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 2>one in Washington. Now it'll be ninety two nine FM

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>in Boston. But David Gurrow then on to September tenths

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>and he made very clear this is a different debate.

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 5>There is this kind of moved to the middle. As

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 5>we talked about a little bit.

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Of a leadership campaign on policy, it was the whole

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 2>crime thing, you know, That's what he knew we'd get votes.

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.679
<v Speaker 5>This is such a strange campaign in so many ways.

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.599
<v Speaker 5>Obviously paramount in the sense that it's moving very quickly

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 5>here and it's a very short, compressed campaign. And so

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:34.280
<v Speaker 5>we've seen the Harris campaign putting out more policy positions.

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 5>I want to say, policy papers, but more definition. There

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 5>there has to be a nod to policy. And herein

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 5>lies the trickiness of this campaign. The Democratic campaign is

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 5>differentiing itself at least somewhat from the incumbent President.

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 2>David Gurrow there of course the host of the Big Take,

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>among other things, and again he will give us coverage

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>from the debate. September tent. In the business world of economics, finance, investment,

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 2>I must say the beginning of the school year is

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 2>our new Year's our New Year's Eve, and then on

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 2>to a sparightly September and into Q four. It is extraordinary.

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 2>But nothing has been more extraordinary than the American economy.

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>The resiliency of three percent ending June thirty. Who knows

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 2>what we'll have ending September thirty in a stock market

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 2>that has confounded those cautious, just absolutely extraordinaries. We end

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 2>out the fiscal the business year, if you will, and

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:33.599
